Happy Eve of Halloween Eve, everyone! We are excited to announce that our newest Pit People update, "Pitlicious", is now available on Steam!

Aside from new adventures and quality of life additions, Update 7 is full of those "hey, wouldn't it be cool if...?" moments we've been jotting down since development began. Things like...

• "Wouldn't it be cool if those bear blood storms could happen any time?
  
• "What about a bunch of quests in a big city? Crowded streets, hot dog carts, skyscrapers...
  
• "OOH, a prison break! Sheep Mascots! A level full of dynamite. Just dynamite. EVERYWHERE."

Whether you can stand toe to toe with General Custard or are as innocent as a wee babe, Pitlicious has something strange and wonderful for you!

At 8 ¼ “ tall and 3 ½ “ wide, this vinyl Sofia will guard your home or office with her trusty sword and net in hand.

An update just went out today in our Steam version of Pit People.

Pit People Update 6c changes:

Players with “maxed out” save slots (heavy load of recruited fighters and collectible items) had their online functionality affected. Other players were unable to see these affected players in the Pit modes and story mode. This has been fixed in this latest update.

We launched the full release of Pit People last month and since then we’ve been working on several additions & improvements for our game.


Pit People Update 7: Pitlicious will include the following:

• 2 New Multi-Part City Quests
  
• New world map content
  
• New unlocks
  
• 13 new Achievements
  
• Flash bear blood storms throughout the game
  
• Viewable fighter career stats in regular mode (similar to Obituary in Permadeath Mode)
  
• The atmosphere of elite battles will be intensified (it’s going to get spookier!)

While there’s no release date to be announced yet, we wanted to share this info with the community to keep you in the loop! There will be other improvements included in Update 7 as well, so be sure to read the full changelist when it comes out with the update.

---------------------

On a related note, part of our team is currently at PAX East 2018, so they can answer some questions if you want to know more about Pit People, the upcoming update, or about any of our other games!
